Nothing was touching these so I decided to break out SSR3 and a cutting pad..finally getting somewhere, with very little hazing.



The thing to remember with SSR3 is DO NOT prime the pad with a qd or water...Priming the pad will lead to heavy hazing.

Thanks everyone...It was a huge job and the owner was floored by the turn around.

Sorry I changed it...Don`t prime it with a QD or water. Also change or clean pads often when using SSR# it clogs pads quickly which can also lead to excessive hazing.

PC is great. Just some defects take a rotary or wet sanding to fix. PCs can fix alot of things, sometimes it just takes a loooooooooong time.
